  In the mid-1990s, fresh out of high school, Nic Brown was living his childhood dream as a rock and roll drummer. Signing a major label record deal, playing big shows, hitting the charts, giving interviews in Rolling Stone, appearing on The Tonight Show—what could be better for a young artist? But contrary to expectations, getting a shot at his artistic dream early in life was a destabilizing shock. The more he achieved, the more accolades that came his way, the less sure Brown became about his path. 
   
   
   
  Only a few years into a promising musical career, he discovered the crux of his discontent: he was never meant to remain behind the drums. In fact, his true artistic path lay in a radically different direction entirely: he decided to become a writer, embarking on a journey leading him to attend the Iowa Writers' Workshop, publish novels and short stories, and teach literature to college students across the country. 
   
   
   
  Bang Bang Crash tells the story of Nic Brown's unusual journey to gain new strength, presence of mind, and sense of perspective, enabling him to discover an even greater life of artistic fulfillment.

  Why do millions of people around the world love Scottish dancing?
  What makes it so special?
  
  Heel for Heel is a joyful celebration of all the genres from the centuries-old Highland Dancing to the evolving reels, Scottish Country Dancing, ceilidhs and Step Dance that spread throughout Scotland and beyond. The story mirrors the delight of the guests at 'Mairi's Wedding' going 'heel for heel', whether in a boisterous jig or a graceful Strathspey.
  Cindy Gray, a keen dancer herself, invites you to discover the universal appeal of Scottish dance. She tells the story of Scottish dance through the stories of fellow enthusiasts including Scots at exuberant ceilidhs, Samburu tribesmen learning a giddy 'Eightsome Reel', Canadian children immaculately dressed for 'The Sword Dance' and reelers at glittering balls in Venice, Oman and India. Her amusing anecdotes and illuminating reflections are enhanced by vibrant photographs.
  This book is a MUST for anyone who enjoys Scottish dancing – or who fancies they might – and for everyone drawn to stepping out gaily, 'heel for heel and toe for toe'!

  Blues People - Negro Music in...

  “The path the slave took to ‘citizenship’ is what I want to look at. And I make my analogy through the slave citizen’s music—through the music that is most closely associated with him: blues and a later, but parallel, development, jazz…[If] the Negro represents, or is symbolic of, something in and about the nature of American culture, this certainly should be revealed by his characteristic music.” 
  So says Amiri Baraka in the introduction to Blues People, his classic work on the place of jazz and blues in American social, musical, economic, and cultural history. From the music of African slaves in the United States through the music scene of the 1960s, Baraka traces the influence of what he calls “negro music” on white America—not only in the context of music and pop culture but also in terms of the values and perspectives passed on through the music. In tracing the music, he brilliantly illuminates the influence of African Americans on American culture and history.
